There's this new thing called the South Beach diet and supposedly it really helps you lose weight because it controls your insulin so you don't crave carbs and it eliminates insulin spikes. Now, I remember reading somewhere on this board that one of the causes of acne is insulin spikes when we eat. Do you think going on this diet will improve acne because the insulin is taken care of? Wouldn't that be amazing -- you lose weight and acne all at once! I'm going to try it. I don't think it's only used in South Beach -- I'm not sure why it's called that -- but it's a book I've been seeing, so it's probably available everywhere.

I've been on SBD for 4 months now. I haven't lost a lot of weight but I have obviously lost inches. My skin cleared up initially but then went back to being bad. Maybe due to stress --- changing diet and all.

I'm following The Acne Cure for a week now. With good results so far. Maybe you'd be interested in finding out about it.
